Commissioned by the Wigmore Hall for the composer's 60th birthday with funds from ACNI."viola:piano is one of a set of 6 pieces which I wrote in 2008 and 2009. Two of the others, violin:piano and cello:piano require the instrumentalists to play at different tempi from each other throughout. In this piece the players are playing together, but their material is, for the most part, quite different, and for the first 12 minutes, the two parts have little in common. It is only after this that they begin a more conventional contrapuntal relationship. This is the first of these pieces to be premiered. It was commissioned by the Wigmore Hall with funding from the Arts Council of Ireland. The piece is dedicated to Mary Rörich."            - Kevin Volans

of comfort and joy (Holiday). By Musella. Arranged by Santa Cruz. For String Orchestra with Percussion (violin 1, violin 2, viola, cello, double bass, piano, vibraphone, chimes, percussion 1 (Low tom, Sleigh bells), percussion 2 (bass drum, tambourine, suspended cymbal, triangle)). String Music. Grade 4. Score only. Duration 4:00. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.16541). This work fuses two well known traditional carols, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Carol of the Bells, into an intriguing tapestry of textures and colors. It is meant to allow the listener to consider the reflective and sometimes hectic and even tense nature of the holiday season. This work fuses two well known traditional carols, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Carol of the Bells, into an intriguing tapestry of textures and colors. It is meant to allow the listener to consider the reflective and sometimes hectic and even tense nature of the holiday season. The brooding, restless introduction gives way to a more buoyant treatment of God Rest with fragments of Carol of the Bells. The mood becomes turbulent and eventually Carol of the Bells becomes the main theme and God Rest in augmentation serves as the accompaniment. The work concludes with a fughetto built on a variant of the opening bass line sprinkled with thematic fragments from the two carols and subsides into a calm, peaceful conclusion. It was commissioned by Director's Choice Tour and Travel for the Tejeda Middle School Orchestra, San Antonio, Texas to commemorate their selection to perform at the 63rd annual Midwest Clinic in Chicago.

For Viola and Cello.Published 2008.Dedicated to Garth Knox and Rohan de SaramFirst performance: Intrasonus Festival Venice, 3 May 2008"This music was composed during my DAAD residency in Berlin in October — November 2007. If I were to describe it in one sentence, I would say that it is based on the idea of 'two things seen/heard as one'."a2 (a due) is a well-known term to musicians; it is often found in orchestral scores indicating a given passage that is to be played by two instruments of the same family. Although violin and cello could well be regarded as 'first cousins' of the string family, the literal implementation of the term a2 as a 'compositional strategy' would have been too much (!) for a piece of chamber music consisting of no more than two players. Not surprisingly, this never happens in this work; in fact, the opposite is true: regardless of how it appears on paper (i.e. on one or two staves), the music for each instrument is constantly based on two layers."This musical 'interpretation' of the title gives an indication as to how the textural format of the piece operates. However, this was by no means the only thought that 'preoccupied' my mind whilst composing this music. Berlin made a profound impression on me. The remnants of the wall in Bernauer Straße and the cobbled two-stone line tracing the wall across where it once stood — a clear reminder of what not so long ago there were two different worlds in one city — provoked a strikingly dramatic effect. Border, death-strip, killing, and escape to freedom had a particularly evocative resonance, especially of the time when I lived for three years in a remote town in Southern Albania right at the border with Greece. There, there was a nameless road whose destination the authorities did not want you to know, but the locals called it the 'death-road'."In no way programmatic, in this context, the extra-musical dimension of the principal idea is very much part of the piece. Here, the musical and extra-musical interpretations cannot easily be separated, for they are two parts of the same thing: a2."As if to add another dimension to this idea, there are two versions of this piece: for viola & cello and violin & cello. The first version was premiéred by Garth Knox and Rohan de Saram at the 2008 Intrasonus Festival in Venice."
